B'ball at the Springs

I know that I’m behind on the updates here, and I’m working on the rest of Disney now (wow, I took a lot of photos to sort through!). But here’s some in between stuff. Elaina and Carter are playing in our church Upward basketball league. It’s too much fun and the kids are having a ball too. ;-) Because the league is small, some of the coaches do double duty and are referees too. The Husband is enjoying his service as a zebra.Carter's team The Mudd Dogs. (He's number 8.) The man running the show there, Kip, is the funniest announcer ever. He'll get on the sound system and say something like, "And now, all the way from Spot-in-the-Road, Alabama, standing 4 feet 6 inches tall, it's Carter Johnson!" and they have this contemporary Christian music blaring in the background and everyone cheers--it's a hoot!And Elaina's team the Lady Bulls (I have no idea except that they couldn't call them the Heifers and get away with it.)

Definitions

Often used terms:

Perfect Mommy Title--a play-pretend "contest" that all moms are consciously or unconsciously participating in. You know, when you go on and on about how precious and smart and wonderful little Suzie or Billy is at the playground, and when you illustrate all of the fabulous "Mom" stuff you do for your children like homemade lunches with the sandwiches cut into shapes and peeling the grapes and all of that mess...you're in the game.

Sister Sunshine Charlotte--This is what The Husband calls my alter ego, the person who is constantly on a tear about something, complaining to customer service, indignant, difficult, demanding, dominant, Preaching to the Choir. Of course, Charlotte the Mother Bear is nothing like that other woman. :-)

Shorties--Kids. They are shorter than adults. Get it?

The Husband--We've been married so long we are basically the same person.

About Me

I'm an almost 50-year-old mother of five Shorties--Elise (Big E), Elaina (Naynuh), Hannah (Sister), Carter (The Number One Son), and Lilly Grace (The Little Flower), married to The Husband 23 glorious years. That about sums it up.
